Article 1: Application
1.1 This IBF-FKSU/AMOSUP-KSA CBA sets out the standard terms and conditions applicable only to
seafarers serving on any ship owned or operated by a company in membership of KSA, the member
of the Joint Negotiating Group in respect of which there is in existence an IBF Special Agreement.

1.2 This Agreement is deemed to be incorporated into and to contain the terms and conditions of
employment of any seafarer to whom this Agreement applies whether or not the Company has
entered into an individual Contract of Employment with the seafarer.

1.3 It is understood and agreed that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall be
construed as to restrict in any way the authority of the Master.

1.4 The IBF Special Agreement requires the Company, inter alia to employ the seafarers on the terms and
conditions of an ITF approved agreement, and to enter into individual contracts of employment with
any seafarer to whom this Agreement applies, incorporating the terms and conditions of an ITF
approved Agreement. The Company undertakes that it will comply with all the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. The Company shall further ensure that signed copies of the applicable ITF approved
Agreement (CBA) and of the ITF Special Agreement are available on board in English.

1.5 The words "seafarer", "ship", "IBF Special Agreement", "Union", "ITF" and "company" when used in
this Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the IBF Special Agreement. Furthermore,
"seafarer" means any person who is employed or engaged or works in any capacity to whom this

1.6 All such Seafarers covered by this Agreement employed from the Philippines on board any ship/s
owned, chartered or operated by the Company, shall as a condition of their employment in this
Company, be members of the Union and maintain their membership-in-good standing in accordance
with the Constitution and By Laws of the Union.

1
1.7 Each seafarer, shall be covered by the Agreement with effect from the date on which they are
engaged, whether they have signed Articles or not, until the date on which they sign off or, if later,

the date until which, in accordance with this Agreement, the Company is liable for the payment of
wages, whether or not any employment contract is executed between the seafarer and the Company and
whether or not the Ship's Articles are endorsed or amended to include the rates of pay specified in this
Agreement.

Article 2: Duration
2.1 Subject to the provisions hereinafter provided, this Collective Bargaining Agreement shall be in effect
for a period of three (3) years. However, in the event that a ship/s is on an incomplete voyage at
time of expiration of this Agreement, it shall automatically be extended to the date of arrival at the
next major port if renewal is not mutually open where repatriation of Seafarer could be arranged
without interfering with the normal operations of the ship/s. However, if renewal of this Agreement is
mutually agreed upon, the Seafarer shall continue to work until a new agreement is formalized.

Article 3: Pre-Employment
3.1 All the Seafarers shall be drawn/ selected from among the lists of Seafarers-members in the AMOSUP.

medical examination, at Company expense, by a Company-nominated
doctor and that the seafarer answer faithfully any questionnaire on their state of health, which may

26, 27, 28 and 29. The seafarer shall be entitled to receive a copy of the medical certificate issued in
respect of such an examination.

3.5 In order to avoid the Seafarer contracting diseases on board as well as to improve health and safety

seafarer has been cured or until a medical determination is made in accordance with clause 28.2
concerning permanent disability.

26.4 Proof of continued entitlement to sick pay shall be by submission of satisfactory medical reports,

of this Agreement.

28.2 The disability suffered by the seafarer shall be determined by a doctor appointed by the Company. If
a doctor appointed by or on behalf of the seafarer disagrees with the assessment, a third doctor may
be nominated jointly between the Company and the Union and the decision of this doctor shall be
final and binding on both parties.

28.3 The Company shall provide disability compensation to the seafarer in accordance with APPENDIX 3,
with any differences, including less than ten percent (10 %) disability, to be pro rata.

28.4 A seafarer whose disability, in accordance with 28.2 above is assessed at fifty percent (50%) or more
under the attached APPENDIX 3 shall, for the purpose of this paragraph, be regarded as permanently
unfit for further sea service in any capacity and be entitled to one hundred percent (100%)
compensation. Furthermore, any seafarer assessed at less than fifty percent (50%) disability but

9
 certified as permanently unfit for further sea service in any capacity by the Company-nominated
doctor, shall also be entitled to one hundred percent (100%) compensation. Any disagreement as to
the assessment or entitlement shall be resolved in accordance with clause 28.2 above.

28.6 Shipowners, in discharging their responsibilities to provide for safe and decent working conditions,
should have effective arrangements for the payment of compensation for personal injury. When a
claim arises, payment should be made promptly and in full, and there should be no pressure by the
shipowner or by the representative of the insurers for a payment less than the contractual amount
due under this Agreement. Where the nature of the personal injury makes it difficult for the
shipowner to make a full payment of the claim, consideration would be given to the payment of an
interim amount so as to avoid undue hardship.

aforementioned sum shall be paid to the person or body empowered by law or otherwise to
administer the estate of the Seafarer.

29.2 Any payment effected under this clause shall be without prejudice to any claim for compensation
made in law but may be offset against any such payments.

IV. Heart and Lungs

Heart and lung ailments are assessed with regard to the limiting of the functional capacity caused by the ailment,
applying the following division into function groups:
1. No limitation of physical activity. ..................................................................................................3
2. Minor limitation of physical activity
Symptoms appear only during strenuous activity ...........................................................................20
3. Considerable limitation of physical activity
Symptoms also appear during low levels of activity .......................................................................45
4. Any form of physical activity produces symptoms,
which can also be present during periods of rest ...........................................................................70

Steps are taken to support the division into functions by means of objective measurements for lung function, such as
the forced exhalation volume in the first second, FEV 1.0.
Assuming that the case is one of permanent reduction of FEV 1.0.
FEV 1.0 of over 2 litres corresponds roughly to function group 1,
FEV 1.0 of 1.5-2 litres corresponds roughly to function group 2,
FEV 1.0 of about 1 litre corresponds roughly to function group 3, and
FEV 1.0 of about 0.5 litre corresponds roughly to function group 4.
